Test frontend API logging (Python)

[ReneRanzinger]

Based on #999 try to extract the header from the WS call to identify the frontend.

I am using the following code to capture various headers:

   header_dict = {}
    header_dict["user_agent"] = request.headers.get('User-Agent')
    header_dict["referer"] = request.headers.get('referer')
    header_dict["origin"] = request.headers.get('Origin')
    header_dict["ip"] = request.environ.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR', request.remote_addr)

    ug = parse(request.headers.get('User-Agent'))
    header_dict["is_bot"] = ug.is_bot

And the captured header parameters look as follows (I hope these will be enough to analyze API requests):

"headers": {
        "user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm) Chrome/112.0.0.0 Safari/537.36",
        "referer": "https://www.glygen.org/",
        "origin": "https://www.glygen.org",
        "ip": "40.77.190.238",
        "is_bot": true
    }
